"Hope is ahead", this is a lyric in the earliest version of "I Love to Remember lyrics" in which the band cheered for the contestants, this lyric was sung by the band's Haifeng, at the same time he and Wang Tao, Tianyue, Siqi (Du Siqi), Ling Han were also the earliest batch of lead singers of this music program. Haifeng, surnamed Liu, is not only one of the lead singers, but also the music director of the early program of "I Love to Remember Lyrics", when he was only in his twenties, he was really a young and promising musician.
A few days ago, according to the Qianjiang Evening News, Haifeng jumped in the early morning of May 26 and ended his life. Born on September 1, 1981, he was not yet 40 years old, and he said goodbye. His child was born in 2013 and is still very young. Although "I Love to Remember the Lyrics" has long been discontinued, Haifeng has always insisted on his favorite music career and continued his work as a music producer. His last message on social media was to forward a new song by his friend Yang Pei'an (singer, representative work "I Believe", who also joined "I Love to Remember Lyrics") and advised him to make a MV. After the news of Haifeng's death came out, Yang Pei'an also released a dynamic tribute to him.
Regarding Hai Feng's situation before his death, some insiders confided that he had been plagued by depression for many years. In any case, the deceased is gone, and can only wish the deceased rest in peace. However, such an unfortunate news reminds many people of Haifeng's "hope is ahead" in those years, and also opens up a dusty memory - the memory of watching "I Love to Remember the Lyrics" in the past, which is a time that can never go back.
"I Love to Remember Lyrics" began broadcasting in the second half of 2007, when the draft of super women and fast men on the next station was already on fire, and "I Love to Remember Lyrics" opened another form of music variety shows. Although the super female fast male draft has aroused a wave of national participation in the national audition, after all, it is still necessary to have a certain singing strength to be seen by everyone in the end. And "I Love to Remember Lyrics" has another way, singing well or not becomes unimportant, love to sing, can remember the lyrics will have the opportunity to participate on stage.
Hua Shao, Zhu Dan, and later Yi Yi were able to make a big name for their fame thanks to the very popular program "I Love to Remember Lyrics", which was very popular at that time, and the lead singers at that time also became signed artists and were active in various programs of Zhejiang Tv. Although that period of time was not long, it was very representative, and many programs were derived around "I Love to Remember Lyrics", and many tricks were played in the music variety show of ordinary people. The format was not complicated, but it still felt rich.
However, it is not easy for a program to survive all the time, it is even more difficult to continue to fire, "I Love to Remember Lyrics" has been broadcast continuously for several years in the form of a regular program, and the core of the program itself is relatively single, so in order to continue to do the program, it does play a lot of tricks, such as re-selecting the super lead singer, the selection process has been made into a draft; such as joining the generational confrontation in the later stage, increasing the intergenerational interaction of the program, and broadening the audience. However, it was difficult to escape the fate of the temporary suspension of the popularity of the program, and later "I Love to Remember the Lyrics" once returned in the form of a season broadcast, but the program model has been unrecognizable, and the audience has been greatly lost in the early years, so it was finally completely stopped in 2014.
In fact, whether it is Blueberry Station's "I Love to Remember Lyrics" series, or Mango Station's later launch of "Challenge Microphone", its characteristics are the participation of ordinary people, star guests only occasionally participate as embellishment, even if they do not rely on stars, they can also attract the audience with the charm of the show itself. And look at the later music variety shows, whether it is the competitive competition of the popular stars, or the creative adaptation of the popular stars, or the singing competition that sees the celebrity mentor in the name of the draft, the core of the program is placed on the star, the sense of participation of the ordinary people is getting lower and lower, and there is no longer the fun of the master in the folk.
Music is what the public needs, and many ordinary people are eager to participate in it, so music variety shows should not just turn around and watch similar singer guests sing in the competition of changing the law, and the draft should not be just a tool for professional companies to push new people who have signed contracts. "I Love to Remember the Lyrics" is still remembered by many people many years later, in addition to people's instinctive nostalgia and emotional sustenance for the lost time, but also because everyone misses the simple, close to the audience, not too much wrapped in commercial packaging of the variety era.
